🚀 FastAPI Launcher

FastAPI Launcher is a lightweight VS Code extension that adds a one-click button to quickly launch your FastAPI app using fastapi dev.

No need to manually type commands — just click and code.


✨ Features

  • ✅ Adds a FastAPI launch button next to the Python Run button.
  • ✅ Automatically detects if the current workspace is a FastAPI project.
  • ✅ On first click, prompts you to select your app/ folder (where your FastAPI app lives).
  • ✅ Remembers your choice by storing it in .vscode/fastapi-launcher.json.
  • ✅ Instantly runs:
    fastapi dev [your app folder]
    

🛠 How It Works

Open a folder that contains a FastAPI project.

Click the FastAPI button (next to the Run button).

Select your app/ folder the first time.

From now on, it just works.
